Connecticut police are alerting residents to rising scams targeting personal information and money. Callers are posing as local officials, businesses, and even police, often claiming missed jury duty or outstanding warrants. Experts say AI has made these scams more sophisticated, and recordings of simple responses can be used to open credit accounts in victims’ names. Police and criminal justice experts advise hanging up on unknown numbers and relying on official mail or emails for legitimate notices. Some victims have reported losses of tens of thousands of dollars.
